The St. Louis Blues are being faced with one of the worst situations a sport team could dream of. Right after the team established them as truly championship-caliber, for the first time in 50 years, both their star, league-best captain and their prized young star are expiring. Alex Pietrangelo and Vince Dunn are must-haves for the Cup-caliber Blues but with only $2 million in cap space (in the case of a flat cap) and the duo likely to cost upwards of $12 million, St. Louis is in a bit of a rutt.
General manager Doug Armstrong is well aware of this.
